ASUWB elections held today and tommorow
HUFFMAN
The ASUWB spring elections are today (Tuesday) and tommorow. All students enrolled in at least one class at UW Bothell are eligible to vote.
The halls of UW Bothell are lit¬ tered with campaign material for the twelve candidates for office, ten can¬ didates are officially declared can¬ didates, who will appear on the bal¬ lot, and two candidates are running as write-in candidates. The middle section ol this newspaper is a spe¬ cial pull-out guide to the election, profiling the candidates.
The race for President is between former ASUWB Vice President Donna Zeck and current Student Representative Aaron Chomjak. Zeck resigned her position last quar¬ ter and has become a vocal critic of student government over the past month.
The Vice Presidential contest is between Business student Jim Hidde and Liberal Studies student and Commons contributor Chris Townsend. Townsend was the first candidate to put up campaign ma¬ terial, and the first to have prank¬ sters deface it. The day after he posted his signs around campus someone posted a notice over each one of them implying that Townsend was homophobic, anti- semitic, misogynistic, and worst of all, from Montana.
The Treasurer race pits current Treasurer Chris Haugen against Business major May Yuen. If elected Haugen will ultimately participate in Bothell student government for a record rwo and a half years. Yuen is a newcomer to ASUWB, having served on no student government committees.
The Student Representative po¬ sition number one race is between Lore Christensen and write-in can¬ didate Randy Belieu. Both candi¬ dates have emphasized a need for ASUWB to meet the needs of non- traditional students.
The Student Representative po¬ sition number two race is between Kelly Petzel and write-in candidate Katherine McNeil. The winner of this race will begin serving his or her term immediately, to fill the posi¬ tion left vacant last month.
The number three and four stu¬ dent representative positions each have only one candidate running for it. Colleen Meyer is running for position three and Rachel Campbell is running for position four.
A constitutional amendment is also on the spring ballot. The amendment seeks to take control of the student newspaper, the UW Bothell Commons, out of the hands of student government, and into the hands ofa more independent body.
Almost all of the candidates sup¬ port the amendment. Some, like
Puny turnout mars candidate forums
Only about 10 people sat in the audience of each of the two candidate forums held last week. About 20 fo 25 onlookers observed from the sidelines.
Lore Christensen, give it enthusias¬ tic support. Others, like Donna Zeck, support the amendment but have some misgivings. Chris Hau¬
gen opposes the amendment.
Voting will be held in the Com¬ mons. Students voting will need to bring their UW I.D. card and a
piece of picture I.D. No word yet whether ASUWB will give out free latt^s for voters like they did last year.
Possible constitutional violation in ASUWB budget process
Proposal would also gut Career Services dept
RICHARD HUFFMAN
The Budget and Operations Committee of .\SUWB released its budget recommendations for the 1996-1997 school year. The B & O committee is slated to present the budget to the full student govern¬ ment at today's (Tuesdays) meeting. The B & O committee apparently
did not hold public hearings during the budgetting process as required by the ASUWB constitution.
The proposal has raised many questions among students who do not agree with some of the funding proposals. Among the new programs proposed to be handed are: in-class notetakers ($7,200), a YMCA health club use subsidy ($7,500), Work
Lyndo West, UWB Career counselor, would lose her job if the the proposed ASUWB budget passes and no other funding sources ore found
study assistants ($6,000), and an ASUWB guide ($3,000). Katherine McNeil, Nursing graduate student and write-in candidate for todays election, does not like the proposal. "These recommendations are obvi¬ ously designed for the traditional stu¬ dent, who is unmarried, and living close to school," said McNeil. "A $7,200 health club subsidy? This is obviously designed by someone who doesn't realize how far away most stu¬ dents live and how little time most students have. I think the money can be better sp>cnt."
The proposal would also gut 80% of the budget for Career Services. The majority of the current budget is used to pay the salary of Lynda West, who works 3/4 time as the UW Bothell campus counselor. The current year's budget is $26,590 and the recom¬ mendation for next year is $5,000.
According to an e-mail statement sent out this past weekend, from the ASUWB e-mail account but appar¬ ently written by B & O committee chair Chris Haugen, the $5,000 bud¬ get "is earmarked as a contribution to Student Affairs to maintain UWB's dedicated career services, or will be set aside to contract career services for UWB students on the Seatde campus." Essentially the mes¬ sage is arguing that the university - Continued on the next page -
